About Cabling Installation & Maintenance

Our mission: Bringing practical business and technical intelligence to today's structured cabling professionals

For more than 30 years, Cabling Installation & Maintenance has provided useful, practical information to professionals responsible for the specification, design, installation and management of structured cabling systems serving enterprise, data center and other environments. These professionals are challenged to stay informed of constantly evolving standards, system-design and installation approaches, product and system capabilities, technologies, as well as applications that rely on high-performance structured cabling systems. Our editors synthesize these complex issues into multiple information products. This portfolio of information products provides concrete detail that improves the efficiency of day-to-day operations, and equips cabling professionals with the perspective that enables strategic planning for networks’ optimum long-term performance.

Throughout our annual magazine, weekly email newsletters and 24/7/365 website, Cabling Installation & Maintenance digs into the essential topics our audience focuses on.

  • Design, Installation and Testing: We explain the bottom-up design of cabling systems, from case histories of actual projects to solutions for specific problems or aspects of the design process. We also look at specific installations using a case-history approach to highlight challenging problems, solutions and unique features. Additionally, we examine evolving test-and-measurement technologies and techniques designed to address the standards-governed and practical-use performance requirements of cabling systems.
  • Technology: We evaluate product innovations and technology trends as they impact a particular product class through interviews with manufacturers, installers and users, as well as contributed articles from subject-matter experts.
  • Data Center: Cabling Installation & Maintenance takes an in-depth look at design and installation workmanship issues as well as the unique technology being deployed specifically for data centers.
  • Physical Security: Focusing on the areas in which security and IT—and the infrastructure for both—interlock and overlap, we pay specific attention to Internet Protocol’s influence over the development of security applications.
  • Standards: Tracking the activities of North American and international standards-making organizations, we provide updates on specifications that are in-progress, looking forward to how they will affect cabling-system design and installation. We also produce articles explaining the practical aspects of designing and installing cabling systems in accordance with the specifications of established standards.

“Lexie’s leadership has continued to elevate KW Cares into one of the most impactful nonprofit organizations across all industries,” said Chris Czarnecki, CEO and president, KW. “She has ensured KW-affiliated associates and their families have meaningful support when it matters most.”

Over the past year, Rodriguez has continued to transform KW Cares with forward-thinking initiatives, including the establishment of a $14 million Reserve Investment Fund. Her leadership drove a 10% increase in market centers meeting tithing goals, strengthening the foundation’s capacity to serve.

In July, KW and KW Cares donated $150,000 to support flood relief efforts in Central Texas.

In 2024, KW Cares awarded 497 emergency grants and 141 catastrophic hardship grants to KW® associates and their dependent families facing financial hardship due to a sudden emergency. In total, KW Cares awarded more than $4.8 million in grants and disaster relief last year.

Beyond KW, Rodriguez serves on four nonprofit boards, including TEXSAR (Texas Search and Rescue), Austin New Church, the PTSA for Austin High School, and the Austin High Football Booster Club.

“I am deeply honored to be recognized as a HousingWire Vanguard, but this award truly belongs to the Keller Williams family, who make KW Cares possible,” said Rodriguez. “Every dollar, every volunteer hour, and every act of generosity ensures we can stand beside our agents and their families in their greatest times of need.”

“And, a very special thank you to our incredible staff and board members who are the driving force of all we accomplish at KW Cares,” said Rodriguez.

Since 2003, KW Cares has provided over $67.0 million in assistance through more than 7,300 grants to KW® agents and families. KW Cares is funded primarily through KW® agents who donate a portion of their real estate commissions.
